Becky, you need lots of glutathione precursors -- cold-processed

whey -- just like the experiments used. Glutathione even such taken

on an empty stomach does not absorb into the blood; it's broken

down in the digestive tract. Glutathione in the blood from IV

injections for example does not enter the cells where 90% is

needed.

That would be cold-processed sugar-free whey powder plus selenium

400-600 mcg.

Glutamine is not the rate-limiting factor for glutathione

production; it's not in short supply in food sources. Cystine,

glutamylcysteine, and glutamylcysteinylcysteine contribute the

cysteine-containing precursors in cold-processed whey.

The RDA is a joke. RDA allowances aren't nearly enough to keep one

healthy, and disease will develop if those requirements are not

exceeded. In some cases 20 to 200 times the RDA is required for

optimal health. (selenium, vitamin C and B for example)

Cordyceps and the rest of the immune boosters verge on useless as a

health food; one needs concentrated extracts in order to materially

increase the natural killer cell activity. That's why Transfer

Factor works and the foods Transfer Factor is extracted from does

not.

Your money would be better spent on nutritional supplements than

Noni.

Have a good one - chat later.
